        <description><![CDATA[In exploring this question, I thought that Wiesel's description of Elie's travelling to the camp might constitute as a horror that warrants a sense of disbelief.  The cramped conditions, as well as the open sense of flirting in the midst of this horrendous moment, and the notion of the destination might qualify as potential areas where disbelief could enter.  In analyzing how Eliezer details this voyage, one can see that there are moments...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Shortly after Elie arrives at the "reception center" of Auschwitz (Birkenau), he witnesses infants being thrown into the ovens (crematorium).  At this point, Elie loses his faith--he questions how a God could exist who would allow such horror to occur without intervening.  Right after Elie describes the incident, he lapses into a poignant and beautifully written passage which reads as poetry.  He says, "Never shall I forget that night . ....]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I'm assuming you're referring to the evacuation of Buna. If so, those prisoners who did not evacuate were liberated by the Russians two days later. However, Elie and his father choose to leave with the officers and other healthy prisoners, &amp; so end up at two more camps, Gleiwitz and Buchenwald.
Before the evacuation, Elie is hospitalized following a surgery on his foot, which was swollen for weeks. He had been unable to walk on it, &amp;...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[At the beginning of Night, Elie is not close to his father because his father is busy with business and does not approve of Elie's interest in studying Cabbalism. He still sees Elie as a young boy and does not acknowledge that he is growing up.  Likewise, Elie demonstrates some disdain for his father.  He disagrees with his father's complacency toward the increasing strikes against the Jews' freedom and safety and seems to want his dad to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The previous post did a nice job in addressing Moshe being silenced.  Another explanation could underscore one of the critical themes of the work.  Wiesel contends that one of the worst aspects of the Holocaust was the dehumanization of the victims by the victims.  In the drive for survival, Wiesel suggests that bonds of all kinds were severed.  The dehumanization practiced by the Nazis on their victims were replications between victims. ...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[
In the novel Night by Elie Weisel, the townspeople had originally discounted Moishe the Beadle. He was considered odd or eccentric. Elie was one of the few people who recognized his worth prior to the deportation of the Jews. However, having survived an attempted murder, Moishe came back to Sighet, and due to the affect of his experiences he was perceived as even more peculiar. It was therefore very easy for the townspeople to discount the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Love510,
"...treat them with compassion"? Do you even know the meaning of the word?
You and your small American brain has been sheilded from the great light of knowledge. The holocaust is a great and terrible occurence and you're completely oblivious.
You are a failure of a child. And that is that. If I was your mother I would have aborted you.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It's fairly challenging to pinpoint one moment when Eliezer does not feel negativity and hatred for what he and others are enduring.  If I had to pick one critical moment where this become vocalized to the reader, Eliezer's time at Birkenau might be one of the first elements where we begin to see a sense of resentment and hatred develop.  It was at this point where Eliezer is separate from his mother and sister, and effectively they are gone...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[There can be many reasons as to why the people of Sighet refused to heed Moshe the Beadle's warnings.  Certainly, there was a part of the psyche that simply refused to accept the possibilities of what Moshe had foretold.  It might have been due to a certain amount of fear in what he had been saying might have been right.  The horror of it before it was realized was too brutal to even contemplate.  Another part of the reason as to why...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When all the foreign Jews were expelled from Sighet, Moishe the Beadle was among them. After pretending to be dead among a number of Jews being left for dead among many Jews who had been shot, Moishe returns to Sighet. There he tries to warn the towns citizens of the atrocities he has seen. He tries to warn them of the horrific deeds being done, and tells them of the mass graves they were forced to dig. Knowing what was in store, Moishe...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The deportation of Moishe is bad, and quite horrific.  Yet, where Wiesel seems to be making a critical point about his assessment of the Holocaust is not in his deportation.  What matches this level of cruelty is the disbelief and discrediting that happens when he returns to Sighet to let others know of what he saw.  Rather than accept his experience and validate his voice, the Jewish individuals of Sighet dismiss him as crazy and refuse to...]]></description>
